Hello all -- I wonder if anyone knows what has happened to Lost Battalions -- they took my money about four months ago, I'm still waiting for the piece, and they do not respond to telephone, e-mail, etc -- can anyone shed some light on this? -- Thanks, Flat Twin

Two years ago, I decided to quit carrying inventory and either close down Lost Battalions or switch over to a custom shop mode (made to order only). My health insurance issues dictated that I needed to get a job with health coverage as a benefit. A number of people approached us about possibly buying the business intact, so I kept it going to see if anything was actually going to happen. Nothing panned out and I've been trying to keep things going solo since February, but I'm doing a very crappy job of keeping up. My other responsibilities make it very difficult for anybody to reach me on the LB phone and I'm behind on shipping and email, and people are getting pissed off about it. I agree. In the meantime, my health insurance costs have continued to rise through the roof. Therefore, I've decided to halt production at LB and liquidate the stock.

Once current open orders are filled, we will only sell from the stock on hand until it's all gone. Once that stock is gone, it's gone forever. If you have an order with LB that's been paid for, do not worry, we're still producing and we'll continue to do so until all orders are met. I'll get it out to you. We still have a pretty good selection of wools for SS, Luftwaffe, and Heer in stock. We also have a good selection of Heer trops. Luft trops are very limited. We have a good supply of belts, shirts, and caps of all types.

The sale prices on the web site are no longer valid. I'll have new information up ASAP.

So, this is the wrap up for Lost Battalions. I'm putting everything else on hold for the next couple of weeks with an eye to getting all orders filled and all inventory sold by September 15. Call me at the number below and I will be available to answer it. I'm the only guy left here so you will get me personally. If you have a question about an open order or you want to place a new order call be and I will let you know what we've got and when you'll get it.

Payment on all new orders will be by paypal, check, or money order made payable to "Ed Walton". Personal checks are fine. Credit cards are no longer accepted.
